Summary
The ability to consistently identify individuals over time is essential when studying population parameters such as growth rates, age structure, migratory movements, survivorship, residency, and population size. Individual recognition often is accomplished by capturing animals and applying a unique marker such as artificial tags or brands that allow for identification upon recapture . Such marking techniques are successfully used by many capture-mark-recapture (CMR) studies; however, marked animals may experience adverse physiological or behavioral effects as a result of the capture process and marking procedure and markings may cause pain or infection, reduce survival and reproduction, or increase risks of entanglement. Additionally, the loss of identification markers can compromise estimates of demographic parameters.
